Keep It Simple

Love doesn’t make the world go around. Love is what makes the

ride worthwhile. ---Franklin Jones

Before recovery, anger, self-pity, and sadness often filled our hearts.

The world went on. We came to hate the ride.

In recovery, love fills our hearts. We begin to love life. Love is really

caring about what happens to other people. Love is what makes the

ride worth it

We find much love in our program. People really mater to us. We really

matter to others. For many of us, we learn how to love in our meetings.

The program teaches love because the program is love.

Prayer for the Day: I pray that I’ll welcome love into my heart and

others into my life. Love brings me closer to my Higher Power.

Action for the Day: I’ll list all the people I love and why they matter

to me.

Many of these refer to being sober. Sobriety means soundness of mind. I have to work on my emotional sobriety daily, not only as an alcoholic/addict, but as a member of Al-Anon, who qualifies for ACoA.

I identified with ACoA literature so much. I was grateful that I had found AA first or I might have died in my dis-ease, not knowing I had a disease.
